Carved over millions of years by the Colorado
River and stretching 277 miles in length, up
to 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep
in places, the Grand Canyon is celebrated as
one of the most impressive natural wonders in
the world. Private VIP tours invite you to greet
the day with jaw-dropping sunrise views from
Mather Point or sweeping panoramas from
the Desert View Watchtower. A helicopter
excursion is also a thrilling way to reveal the
vast scale and magni昀椀cence of this UNESCO
World Heritage Site, allowing you to take in its
rust-red rock formations, steep-sided gorges,
and the swooping bends of the Colorado
River from above. For e昀昀ortless arrival and
departures, private charters can operate
directly from Grand Canyon National Park
Airport. Alternatively, the Grand Canyon is
easily reached by helicopter from the neon
lights of Las Vegas.

The Colosseum is a triumph of engineering
and an enduring reminder of Rome’s imperial
grandeur. Completed in 80AD and capable of
holding up to 87,000 spectators, it’s known
for its long, rich, and bloody history, having
famously hosted 昀椀erce gladiatorial contests,
wild beast hunts, and public executions. Today,
private guided tours provide unparalleled insight
into its checkered past, including privileged
access to the labyrinth of underground tunnels
where gladiators and animals once waited.
Come evening, head to Michelin-starred Aroma
for an al fresco dinner with unrivaled views of
the illuminated Colosseum.
